Bitcoin (BTC) is the first decentralized cryptocurrency, created in 2009 by an anonymous entity, Satoshi Nakamoto. It operates on a peer-to-peer network using blockchain technology, enabling secure, transparent transactions without intermediaries like banks. Bitcoin's supply is capped at 21 million, making it a deflationary asset. Its value is driven by adoption, speculation, and scarcity, often seen as "digital gold." BTC is used for investments, remittances, and as a hedge against inflation. However, its price is highly volatile, and regulatory concerns persist. Despite challenges, Bitcoin remains the dominant cryptocurrency, influencing the broader crypto market and financial systems worldwide. Its decentralized nature continues to attract supporters advocating for financial freedom
